Participated in Research Study
May 18, 2004
Eighteen members from our group
participated in a focus group administered by
the National Institute on Disability and
Rehabilitation Research. The study is funded
under the Assistive Technology Act of 1998.The
purpose of the study is to obtain input from
people with disabilities , impairments, or
health conditions about what kind of adaptive
equipment or assistive technology would help
them live with their disability.
Their ultimate
goal is to inform policy makers, administrators,
and disability leaders about where research
dollars for technology and equipment for people
with disabilities should be directed. The study
began in 2002 and will continue through 2005,
with focus groups being interviewed around the
country.
